Hello,
Can some one help on how to copy files from a source to destination that
have date stamp of previous day. Example: Copy C:\temp\*.dat J:\Arhive\*.dat
(option is to copy only files that are created yesterday. On 1st May it
should copy files dated 30th April. On 1st Jan, it should copy files created
31st December and so on...

See the following for a generic approach to recursively selecting files for
processing. In your case, selecting files would be based on the extension
( fso.GetExtensionName(file.Name) ) and date (file.DateLastModified), and
the copying (file.Copy) ...

FORFILES.EXE from the Resource Kit (untested):
FORFILES -d-1 -mC:\temp\*.dat -c"CMD COPY $FILE J:\Arhive\"

or using 4DOS/4NT's Date Ranges:
COPY /[d-1,+0] C:\temp\*.dat J:\Arhive\

FYI - FORFILES is part of the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools
Pack...

Both the Windows Server 2003 Administration Tools Pack and the Resource Kit
Tools can be downloaded and installed on XP (see System requirements for
each)...
